Downloading and installing Kibana

Navigate to https://www.elastic.co/downloads/kibana#ga-release and, depending on your operating system, download the ZIP/TAR file as shown in the following screenshot: 

Note

The Elastic developer community is quite vibrant, and newer releases with new features/fixes get released quite often. While you have been reading this book, the latest Kibana version might have changed. The instructions in this book are based on Kibana version 6.0.0. You can click on the past releases link and download version 6.0.0 if you want to follow as is, but the instructions/explanations in this book should hold good for any 6.x release.
